As documented by Breitbart News, Twitter’s videotaped admission of them purposefully censoring conservative users has landed them in considerably hot water.
The Exposure of Twitter
In video footage obtained by the investigative Project Veritas, Twitter engineer Pranay Singh is seen and heard explaining how the social network manipulates their algorithms to make conservative content less accessible:
“Just go to a random [Trump] tweet and just look at the followers. They’ll all be like, guns, God, ‘Merica, and with the American flag and the cross. Like, who says that? Who talks like that? It’s for sure a bot.”
The engineer then discussed the challenges of removing all of the “bot” accounts with the aforesaid posts:
“Yeah. You just delete them, but, like, the problem is there are hundreds of thousands of them, so you’ve got to, like, write algorithms that do it for you.”
“You look for ‘Trump,’ or ‘America,’ or any of, like, five thousand, like, keywords to describe a redneck, and then you look, and you parse all the messages, all the pictures, and then look for stuff that matches that stuff… Assign a value to each thing, so like Trump would be .5, a picture of a gun would be like 1.5, and if the total comes up above a certain value, then it’s a bot.“
